Emerging from the Boston scene, JVK electrifies audiences with their contagious energy and vibrant performance. Backed by guitarists Atticus Crowley and Kay Kwiatek, and featuring frontwoman Jo Krieger, JVK strives to create authentic, empowering rock n’ roll with a punk attitude.
Starting out as Krieger’s solo project, JVK’s debut EP, ‘Hello, Again’, is proof of her carefully crafted lyricism. ‘My Own Man’, a fan-favorite from their first EP, shares a message of being independently confident, and, in Jo’s words, is “the song that encapsulates [JVK] the most”.
After reconnecting with Kay, a former bandmate from a previous project, and meeting Atticus at a local skate park concert, Jo invited them to join the band. The trio’s undeniable, instant chemistry led them to write ‘Who Is JVK?’, the band’s sophomore EP. Delving into different genres in the rock spectrum, JVK creates an authentic sound and defines their message in this project.
Following the release of ‘Who Is JVK?’, the band had their debut festival performance at Louder Than Life 2023 in Louisville, KY, and went on their first headlining US tour, celebrating their newest single ‘Body Double’. This year, JVK was the opening act for The Never Ending Fall’s ‘American Disco’ tour, and played a groundbreaking set at Boston Calling. Looking ahead, the band hopes to continue building their loyal fanbase and spreading their unique message.
"Take one look at JVK’s online presence and it becomes clear that there just isn’t any room for male domination in front-woman Jo Krieger’s path of hard rock trailblazing."
"The group cover everything from their origins to their future hopes, and break down their empowering single 'My Own Man' off of their debut EP Hello, Again."
"15 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Week (July 26 – Aug. 1, 2024)"
"From there Krieger found the rest of JVK: Atticus Crowley and Kay Kwiatek. The group has been together for more than two years and “couldn’t be more excited” to be playing Boston Calling for the first time this year."
“I think that is a testament to your talent, like clearly you killed it, you’ve been making a name for yourself, and real recognizes real.”
"JVK will be touring in support of their latest EP Who Is JVK?, which is out on digital services right now. Following the EP’s release, the band made appearances at Louder Than Life and Boston Calling."
"They're JVK, you're JVK, we're all JVK."
